{Verse} Oh, lay me [C]down in Forest Lawn in a silver [G7]casket, Put golden flowers over my head in a silver [C]basket. Let the [F]drum and bugle corps blow [C]taps while cannons [A7}roar, Let [D7]sixteen liveried employees pass out [G7]souvenirs from the funeral store.
{Chorus} I [C]want to go [G7]simply, when I go, [C] They'll [E7]give me a simple fun'ral there, I [Am]know, [C7]With a [F]casket lined in fleece, And [C]fireworks spelling out [A7]"Rest In Peace." Oh, [D]take me, when I'm [G7]gone, to Forest [C]Lawn.
{2nd tune} Oh, [G]come, come, come, come, Come to the church in the [D7]wildwood, Kindly leave a contribution in the [G]pail.[G7] Be as [C]simple and as trusting as a [G]child would, And we'll [D]sell you the [D7]church in the [G]dale.[G7]
{Coda} [C]Rock of Ages, [F]cleft for [C]me, for a slightly [G7]higher [C]fee. Oh, [D7]take me, when I'm [G7]gone, to Forest [C]Lawn.
Hope you can make sense of that - it's much easier with the music.
